Bohr's model of an atom:-
The Bohr's model is a quantum-physics-based modification of the Rutherford model.It explains the reason for the structure of the Rydberg formula and also provided a justification for its empirical results in terms of fundamental physical constants.
According to Bohr's theory,
✦The atom consists of a small positively charged nucleus at its centre.
✦The nucleus consists all protons & neutrons of the atom.
✦ The whole mass of the atom is concentrated at the nucleus.
✦The volume of nucleus is smaller than the volume of the atom by a ratio of about 1:10.
✦The electrons of the atom revolve round the nucleus in fixed circular paths calleds orbits.
✦Each orbit is associated with a fixed amount of energy. Therefore, these orbits are also known as energy levels or energy shells.
✦These energy levels are designated as K, L, M, N or numbered as n=1,2,3,4 from the side of nucleus.
✦As long as the electron revolves in an orbit,it neither looses nor gain energy.So the energy of an electron remains constant.Hence,these orbits are called stationary orbits.
✦The angular momentum of an electron is always an integral multiple of h/2π.It is given by,
★ mvr = nh/2π
Where,
- m = mass of electron
- v = velocity of electron
- r = radius of an orbit
- h = plank's constant
- n = principle quantum number
✦If an electron jumps from one level to another level,it may emit or absorb energy.
★ΔE = E₂- E₁ = hυ

Question:-
- Describe Bohr's model of atom?
Answer:-
To overcome the drawback of Rutherford's model, Neils bohr, in 1913 gave an arrangements of electrons in atom.
According to him,
- The electrons could revolve around in fixed orbits around the nucleus where each orbit has a different radius.
- The electron does not radiate energy while revolving even after having motion around the nucleus.
